Challenge

A large automotive services corporation needed to fill up to 600 open jobs each month—but with a limited budget. They required a targeted, efficient strategy that prioritized high-need positions and kept the cost per application (CPA) below $40.

Solution

By optimizing programmatic ad strategy, NAS helped the client increase average monthly applications by 53% and improve the conversion rate from 2.5% to 3.5%. At the same time, cost per application dropped by nearly $12, and monthly clicks rose by over 2,900.

Visibility was increased through direct publisher collaboration and performance-based budget allocation.

Apply cap rules paused spend on jobs that received enough applications, helping preserve budget.

Low-priority roles were removed from sponsorship to focus resources on harder-to-fill positions.

Results

By optimizing programmatic ad strategy, NAS helped the client increase average monthly applications by 53% and improve the conversion rate from 2.5% to 3.5%. At the same time, cost per application dropped by nearly $12, and monthly clicks rose by over 2,900.
